Alec Doneghy, of Kirksville,
was in town the first of the week
assisting the Eckert boys IN in
voicing Doneghy Bros, stock of
goods at this place.-Greencastle
independent.
a man was arrested in Chicago
Monday for disturbing the peace
because he kissed a pretty young
woman with her consent. Ii that
is called a disturbance OF the
peace, Just mark Us down for a
riot.-Monroe News.
On Tuesday last, one of George
Weleh's little boys walked up be-
hind a horse, from which he re-
ceived a severe kick in the face.
DR., Dooley was called and dressed
the wound. This is the second
case of a child being kicked by a
horse in this county within the
last two weeks. If little more
care was exercised it might be
preyented.-Lancaster Excelsior.
The hot winds of last week COM
pletely cooked many fields of corn
in this locality. Many farmers are
cutting the half matured stalks for
fodder. Any amount Of rain would
not better the corn crop in many
places in this immediate locality.
Crops of all kinds are almost a
complete failure and the outlook
is anything but encouraging to
the farmer.-Edgar (Nebraska).
Times.
Prof L. D. Luckey proves him
self a proficient instructor by the
manner in which he handles the
Institute. We think that Lancas-
ter has secured a principal who
will do credit to their school. He
is certainly a luckey: Luckey as
he meets with success in whatever
he undertakes, having proved him
self a successful teacher, and car
ried off the first honors, in both the
two and four years classes at the
Normal. SO may we conclude he
VIII carry off first honors in the
profession as a teacher.-Lancas-
ter Excelsior.
A man whose name we failed to
learn, came to town last Saturday,
threw himself around large
quantity of "tanglefoot," started
for home, got as far as Mr.. Saw
yer's residence in East Edna, fell
off his horse, laid in the sun for
some time-until some good sama-
ritan took pity on him, covered
him up and put a pillow under his
head. After sleeping an hour or
two he woke up, looked around in
surprise, examined the pillow and
then started on his way home,
wondering no doubt, who it was
that had treated him so kindly in
his drunken slumber Edna
Democrat.
A man by the name of James
Lakeland came to town last Fri
day from somewhere on the Santa
Fe, and amused himself by beat
ing mule most numerically with
a large club. The exhibition took
place on the west side of the
square, and 1t had no sooner ended
than Charles McCauley, deputy
sheriff, did the wise thing by po-
litely inviting the young man to
accompany him to Esq. Ennis
office, where he was informed that
his fun would cost him just ff-
teen dollars including costs. Not
having over eight dollars about his
Jeans Charles had to accompany
him back to the works to get the
balance.-Edina Democrat.
The wheat yield this yea1
grows more and more astonishing
as the news comes in from the
harvest fields. Milton Swinney
had one field of about 10 acres
that yielded thirty-fve bushels
and j. W. Waters had field
that yielded forty-fve bushels tc
the acre, And upon the testimony
of Sam Jaeoby and several other:
we are enabled to state that the
measure at the machine not only
holds out in weight when delivered
at the mill, but that it gain:
several bushels in every hundred
: We are beginning to think tina
the present yield has never beer
exceeded by any previous year il
